IN 1878...
Our beloved town of Loveland was built around its 1st ever train station, a well-built, single-story, red-brick building.
Some odd years later the Great Western Sugar Company built the beet factory, resulting in a huge increase in freight traffic. In turn creating the need for a larger building to hold not only more freight, but also to provide enough space for a second building allowing locals and tourists to travel conveniently.
As a result, in 1980 the C&S Depot closed due to the increase in automobile ownership, and the decline in freight traffic.
